Profile:

A later generation may remember him as the father of Pakistan captain Majid Khan, but during his time, Jahangir Khan was a very prominent figure in Indian cricket. He earned selection for the tour of England in 1932 on the basis of being a hard hitting late order batsman, a highly effective medium pace bowler who could make the ball kick off the pitch and a reliable fielder anywhere. He did not disappoint scoring 448 runs (19.47) and picking up 53 wickets (29.05) on the tour. In the second innings of the only Test at Lord's, he was impressive while capturing four wickets for 60 off 30 overs. His victims were Percy Holmes, Walter Hammond, Eddie Paynter (all bowled) and Frank Woolley.

From 1933 to 1936, Jahangir Khan was at Cambridge University earning his Blue. He joined the Indian touring team in 1936 and played in all three Tests without much success. After partition, he became one of the leading figures in the administration of the game in Pakistan and managed the team to India in 1960-61. In a first class career that stretched for 28 years, he made over 3300 runs with four centuries and took nearly 350 wickets.(Partab Ramchand)
